Tungsten Carbide Burrs for Tough Applications
New in the PFERD Range: Innovative High-Performance Cuts
For heavy-duty applications in shipyards,
foundries and steel construction, PFERD has
developed two new special cut patterns for its
tungsten carbide burrs.
minimized. Even when milling at low RPM
with an only moderately powerful machine,
the occurrence of tooth failures is markedly
reduced.
The new 3R and 3RS cuts are the latest addition to the existing PFERD range. They are
not intended as substitutes for our proven
standard cuts for general-use burrs.
The new 3R and 3RS cuts represent a new
PFERD product line designed especially for
tough operating conditions. These tungsten
carbide burrs are characterized by their exceptional impact resistance and performance. The
new cuts are ideal for all uses involving high
mechanical shock or impact loads. Susceptibility to tooth chipping/breakage, splintering
and burr head cracking has been effectively
Like all other PFERD quality burrs, our 3R
and 3RS cut types distinguish themselves
by their perfectly matched tooth geometry,
number of teeth, helix angle, rake angle, and
concentricity. Thanks to a very high stock
removal capability over the entire service
life, these tools deliver outstanding results in
minimum time.
For the complete line of tungsten carbide burrs
please refer to our PFERD Catalogue 202,
which we shall be glad to send to you upon
request!
The new 3R and 3RS cut patterns minimize tooth breakage on tungsten carbide burrs
Problem
Chipping, tooth failures and major burr damage
are sometimes encountered in applications
involving high impact loads.
Solutions and advantages
Thanks to perfectly matched production
parameters, the new 3R and 3RS cut patterns
will substantially reduce tooth failures on
tungsten carbide burrs.

Distribution in single-burr packs
Tungsten carbide burrs featuring the new 3R

optimum protection of burr teeth. For easy
differentiation from the remaining product
range, burrs with 3R and 3RS cuts are clearly
marked with the word “New“ on the pack.

Long Shank Versions, Drive Spindle Extensions
Long shank versions – available
on request
Tungsten Carbide Burrs with Special Shank Lengths
Tungsten carbide burrs for tough applications
are optionally available in 150 and 200 mm
shank lengths. These tools are particularly well
suited for use in hard-to-reach areas. Because
of their hight impact-resistance characteristics
they represent an optimum combination of
a tungsten carbide burr and a long shank or
shank extension, respectively. Shanks may also
be cut to length by the user.
Safety notes
Special-length burrs and burrs with long
shanks must be placed on the workpiece
(or inserted in the bore or slot to be
maschined) before the machine is powered
up. As a rule, the tool ought to remain in
contact with the workpiece for as long as
the machine is running. Failure to observe
this procedure may result in shank failure and
hence, an increased accident risk
For safety reasons, tungsten carbide burrs
with longer shafts must be operated at
substantially lower RPM levels.
Use only rigid clamping systems and
power tools, respectively, to avoid safety
hazards!
Drive spindle extensions
For work in hard-to-reach areas (e.g., in pipes
and ducting), burrs may also be combined
with a spindle extension. The extension is
mounted in the collet chuck of the machine
(air-powered or electric), or in the handpiece
of the flexible shaft.
